The evangelic Neader church in Düsseldorf's Old Town
at the Bolkerstraße 36 is from 1684, which is the year the first worship was ministered in it.
It was finally completed in 1687.
The man the church was named after in 1907, Joachim Neander from Bremen, was an evangelic preacher.

In times of religious persecution he ministered his worships in private in flats
or in the woods around Düsseldorf, as well as in a feral valley in the woods in the east of the city,
where many hidden caverns could be found. This valley ("Neandertal") was named after him, too.
The remains of the famous Neanderthal man, who lived there 35.000 years ago, were found there later.
